Help Hadley restart a sewing studio in Duluth after a long illness and repossession
A sewing studio in Duluth needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Duluth. In February, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,000
• Initial stock: fabric: $910
• Shop repairs and licensing: $630
• Working capital for the first month: $310
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Warangal.
small businesses are the heart of Duluth. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Hadley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Magelang donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Magelang.
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you.
